You Ain't Livin' yet

He said boy, you ever been outside of this town?

Ever thought about gettin' out to the west coast?

And down to Mexico, I said no

I just stood there pumpin' his gas

While he rambled on something about Paris, France

And the northern islands and how they dance at night

And how I'm missin' out on life

He said you ain't livin' yet

Yea, that's when I said

If you never slept or kissed in a hay loft

Drove your pickup truck with your shirt off

Let the whistle crow beyond long cline

Then you ain't livin' yet

If you never thrown a lion out from a jungle

Go down the little subways on a dirt road

I'm in a tow truck on the marble

Then you ain't livin' yet

No, you ain't livin' yet

I popped the hood on his Cadillac

And checked the oil while he just laughed

And said you're right, I never tried anything like that before

And I said I could tell by the Mardi Gras beads

And the stack of road maps in your backseat

You've been everywhere but man I swear

This place is different than anywhere

I told him you ain't livin' yet

Now tell me this

You ever put a buck shot through a stop sign?

And felt a burn from your first sip of moonshine?

Met the regional at the red light?

Then you ain't livin' yet

You ever thrown your voice out at a tractor pull?

See a hot girl ride a mechanical bull?

Pulled your heart out on a bar stool?

Then you ain't livin' yet

You said something that got me thinking

I'm thinking I might just stick around

By the way you talk there's a world I've never seen inside of this town

She let me take a look around

I'd trade me this Cadillac for a step sign

Grabbin' us he callin' moon pie

And just soak up this country line

'Cause I ain't livin' yet

You're right man, you said that you ain't livin' yet

'Cause I ain't livin' yet

Said you ain't livin' yet
